BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Technical Field

The present invention relates to an electric power free fan can not only reduce electricity consumption can also increase the cooling effects, it guides the air flow which comes from the DC cooling fan to impel one or more electric power free fans, by this way, it can use electric power free fans to blow and exhaust the hot air to increase the cooling effect but can reduce the needs for DC cooling fans.

2. Description of Related Art

In recent years, there are many new creative electrics; communication products which make consumers can get better and more efficient products. All these are made possible by the continuous efforts of engineers from various fields; computer products are especially playing a representative role among all kinds of consumer electric products.

Most computer or electric devices have contained components which will generate or keep heats, or it will make the system get hot due to execute works. The most popular way to cool the system is by installing one or more DC cooling fans in the system, to reduce the heat by the air flow coming from DC fan(s).

Although above mentioned cooling method can solve the heating problem, however it needs to install many DC fans which require electricity to work. Today, protecting our environment makes saving energy an important issue to everybody, any methods to reduce the waste of electricity are better direction and meet the needs to protect our environments.

There are several components in the general computer system and electric products, such as CPU, electro-coil, transformers, power supplies or Hard Discs and etc., In order to cool down the system, it needs to have one or more electricity consuming DC cooling fan to be installed in the system.

By doing this, it may help to cool the system. However, it also increases the burden of the power supply and power system and make more heating generator. Obviously, it is not an idea solution and can not solve the heating problem efficiently.

By realization the serious shortage of the traditional cooling device and system, the inventor of this electric power free fan made many studies and researches finally create this revolutionary and practical cooling idea. The theory is that using and guiding the air for the DC cooling fan to impel one or more electric power free fan(s). The cooling air comes from the DC cooling fan still can execute its original cooling function, in the meantime, it can impel the electric power free fan to work thus to increase the volume of air blow and ventilation. By this kind operation, it can increase the cooling effect and reduce the use of DC fan which will induce the heat source.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This present invention is a cooling fan device which does not need electric power to start, it is particularly suitable to use in power supply, computer chassis and computer server system in order to reduce the thermal and enhance the cooling effects.

The special feature is to use the air from the DC cooling fan to impel one or more electric power free fan. By this way, the needs for the DC cooling fans can be reduced to least, but can use the electric power free fan to help on air ventilation to increase the cooling effect

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Please refer to FIGS. 1, this invention of electronic power free fan auxiliary cooling device primarily comprises following stated parts: one airflow guiding duct 2 which can be attached on a DC cooling fan 1, one or more than one airflow guiding pipe 3 and one or more than one electronic power free fan 4.

Above mentioned airflow guiding duct 2, having screw holes 21 and one or more than one airflow channel's tube connectors 22, 23, 24 & 25 on it and forms a bell shape opening mouth 26 with the jointing side of the DC cooling fan 26.

Please refer to FIGS. 2, the airflow guiding duct 2 cab be overlapped with the DC cooling fan 1 by the screw hole on the airflow guiding duct 21 and screw hole on the DC cooling fan 11, by fastening the screw 12 to the DC cooling fan 1, it can make the airflow guiding duct 2 fastens with the DC cooling fan 1.

By the Bell shaped opening mouth 26 on the airflow guiding duct 2, it can direct some air of the DC cooling fan 1 to the airflow channel's tube connectors 22, 23, 24 & 25.

The above mentioned way to fasten the airflow guiding duct 2 with DC cooling fan 1, not only limited to above stated screw holes 21 to work for the fastening, it includes fasten by hooks or other ways.

Please refer to FIGS. 3, the electric power free cooling fan 4 for this electric power free auxiliary cooling device, on the frame there is one oblique panel 41 which is used to impel the fan blade's in proper angle, there is one tube connecting pipe or fastener 42 on oblique panel 41.

The connecting pipe or fastener on the above stated oblique panel 41, not limited on the tube type connecting pipe which is adopted in this invention, any thing which can position or fasten one side of the airflow guiding pipe 3 will be included.
